The Cruise for the Cause car show goes beyond a mere exhibition of vehicles; it’s a heartwarming benefit for the Emilio Nares Foundation, a San Diego-based non-profit organization dedicated to providing free medical transportation for children battling cancer and offering services to underserved communities.
What started as a modest meet-up of a few car clubs in 2002 has grown into an impressive event, attracting enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds. The car show will feature various vehicle types, including lowriders, bikes, motorcycles, trucks, and custom rides. But the excitement doesn’t stop there; attendees can also enjoy live music from local talents, donate blood at the Red Cross Blood Mobile, join the “Be the Match” national bone-marrow registry, and participate in thrilling activities for children.
The Cruise for the Cause has become a cherished annual tradition, uniting local businesses in their support for the foundation with cash and prize donations. Generous sponsors such as Barons Market, Bill Howe, Cota Vera at Otay Ranch, Toyota Chula Vista, Soapy Joe’s Car Wash, Meza Paints, PPG, Mesa Automotive Paint, and California Coast Credit Union have played a significant role in making this community-driven event a success.
Xavier “The X-Man” is passionate about the event, saying, “I love seeing our community come together to help the Emilio Nares Foundation, donate much-needed blood to the Red Cross, and get on the national bone marrow registry to possibly save a life! My car show is about more than just the cars; it’s about coming together and supporting our neighbors who need it most.”
Mark your calendars for a day of automotive delights, great music, and family activities, all while supporting a meaningful cause. Cruise for the Cause promises to be a memorable event, celebrating the best of our community spirit.
Don’t miss out on this free family event where cars and compassion unite in a celebration of unity and giving back. Be there this Sunday, August 6th, from 10 am to 3 pm, for Xavier The X-Man’s® 21st Annual “Cruise for the Cause” car show at Otay Ranch Town Center.
